TRAVEL - EXCURSIONS
1.  Grand Caymen - We didn't do anything other than take a taxi to the Royal Beach and loaf.  It's a short excursion day (back at the boat by 2pm) so we spent 
       -  $3 for Taxi each way (they wills ay $5, you can ask them "privately" if they will do $3)
       - $5 for each beach chair and $5 for an umbrella (there is a guy who gives water with the purchase, 
           get that one cause you get a free water per $5 purchase
       - Lunch is kind of expensive there so my wife and I brought a snack to the beach and got on the 
          boat at 1pm and ate lunch there...much cheaper and all you can eat!

Cozumel
         -  JEEP AND CAVERN EXCURSION
         -  By far the BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE AND WORTH EVERY PENNY!  it's $99/Adult.  
            ITS A  VERY LONG EXCURSION (7hrs) which is why i wanted to go with Carnival to    
            book...i know i'd be back and they understood the importance of being back to the ship on 
             time
         -  You drive your  jeeps to a cavern located on the mainland (25-30min drive) Make sure you can 
             drive stick, or you'll be a passenger. 
                    -  They do have 1 automatic but thats taken pretty fast.  
                    -  They take you through the cavern walking then you dive into a cold freshwater cavern.             
                    -  Bring your own snorkel gear or you'll be renting all the time (in each excursion) and for      
                       what you spend in renting, you can buy 2 really good ones at Walmart or your local Scuba 
                        store) 
                   -  When you get to the beach/lunch site after the cavern dive ORDER THE BACON 
                      WRAPPED CHEESE STUFFED SHRIMP - HOLY AMAZING!!!!!!!  Also get the wings, they 
                      will be the best you ever ate
                   -  You are there for 2 hours so eat, then relax under a canopy or swim in the amazing beach

It's a short excursion day (back at the boat by 2pm) so we spent 
       -  $3 for Taxi each way (they wills ay $5, you can ask them "privately" if they will do $3)
       - $5 for each beach chair and $5 for an umbrella (there is a guy who gives water with the purchase, 
           get that one cause you get a free water per $5 purchase
       - Lunch is kind of expensive there so my wife and I brought a snack to the beach and got on the 
          boat at 1pm and ate lunch there...(depends on your age)
- Talent show was great

THINGS WE DIDN'T LIKE
-  There were A LOT of drunk people acting like fools - it wasn't even close to funny and most of the time disrupting things we were doing
-  There was a used condom in the elevator (most likely from a drunk person or very disgusting prank)
-  There were girls in the dining room that wore thongs even though there were kids present, i thought 
   this was so disrespectful and actually got into an argument with a girl who was drunk and wearing one 
   of these bikinis cause she tried to cut in the line and i told her to move to the back...
